  • Calculate confidence intervals for mean, difference in means, variance, ratio of two variances, proportion, difference in two proportions.
  • Calculate expected values and variance for discrete distributions.
  • Calculate mean and variance for a random sample.
  • Calculate required number of samples to achieve a specific statistical power for a hypothesis test for population means.
  • Calculate statistical power for a hypothesis test for population means.
  • Compare two populations for mean and variation using statistics from a random sample.
  • Describe the parameters and the application of common probability functions: uniform (discrete), Binomial, and Normal.
  • Determine best measure of central tendency for a sample from a known population distribution.
  • Determine best methods for graphical presentation of data and statistical analyses.
  • Distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables.
  • Estimate population proportions using binomial tables and normal approximations to the binomial, for small and large samples respectively.
  • Perform one-way ANOVA.
  • Perform randomized complete block ANOVA.
  • Perform simple linear regression.
  • Perform single sample and 2-sample hypothesis tests for mean, variance, and proportion.
  • Plot X, Y data and identify linear and transformable patterns.
